If you’re having trouble pairing your Extender with your
gateway, you can use the included Ethernet cable to connect
your extender to your gateway and pair them manually.

If you still have an issue, check your AT&T Internet service
or Wi-Fi Gateway.
       Your AT&T Internet service needs to be active.
       You must have working AT&T Internet service for your
       Extender to work correctly.
       Check your connections.
       Check all cables and cords to ensure they are connected
       properly and securely.
       Power down, power up.
       Unplug the power cord from the back of your Wi-Fi gateway.
       Leave it unplugged for 15 seconds and plug it back in.
       Then unplug the power cord from the back of your Extender.
       Leave it unplugged for 15 seconds and plug it back in.
       You may need to wait up to 3 minutes for your gateway or
       Extender to completely reboot.

Is my Extender working?
Your Wi-Fi Network Name and Password do not change so it
won’t appear as a new network. To check if it’s working:
1.    Your Extender is paired and functioning when both the 5GHz
      and 2.4GHz lights are solid green. (The 5GHz light will blink
      every 5 seconds. This is normal.)
OR
2.    Use the AT&T Smart Home Manager app to check if the Extender is on
      your network. (It will appear in the Devices section when it’s connected.)
      Get Smart Home Manager at att.com/smarthomemanager.

     AT&T Smart Home Manager gives you easy access to your home
     network information in one convenient spot and can also be used to:
